5. Casket Match: The Undertaker Vs. Rusev

Result: 'Taker places both Rusev and Aiden English in the casket for the win (9:40).

Rating: Given 'Taker's long-standing mobility issues and WWE's bizarre treatment of Rusev, it would've surprised nobody if this was a hard-and-fast burial, so it was a pleasant surprise to see Rusev actually land a decent amount of offence against the Deadman.

'Taker played his crowd-pleasing greatest hits for the most part and the match was worked to his strengths, but Rusev came out of it looking pretty decent, especially following John Cena's WrestleMania squash.

The real talking point here, though, was the cringe-worthy Tombstone to Aiden English, which seemed to result in English legit landing on his head. Post-match reports state he's fine, thankfully.

The match was more competitive than expected if still fundamentally a "soft burial", as the saying goes. 5/10
